Dude said he was driving behind Cam and was first on the scene. Said their light turned green and out of nowhere this buick came from the left side, nailing the back end of the driver's side of Newton's truck sending his car skidding and flipping. If it turns out the other person run a stop sign, he may feel the full extent of the law considering what just happened.

The car's right side was damaged. Seems like it would be the left if he hit him in the back.

From what I saw from the on scene videos reporting from the intersection Newton was struck by the other vehicle which was approaching at any angle, sort a less skewed y intersection, from Newtons left side. From that angle the damage would be to the right side of the vehicle that struck Cam's truck.

Also the impact would be the right front of the automobile and most likely the left rear tire in Cam's truck as it's raised and has larger tires. Also would make it easier to flip. That also was the reason it probably stayed on the bridge instead of skidding out of control.

Did they really? Do you have a quote because I would like to read it.

Well nvm. Idk if chknwing quoted the wrong article or the website changed it. Nothing what he said was in the article.

charlotte observer is reporting Cam was at fault in the accident

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/12/09/5373415/cam-newton-hurt-in-uptown-wreck.html#.VIdqenvzJ8E

The Buick’s unidentified driver, writhing in pain on the sidewalk, told police that he was crossing Church Street when a truck “came flying down” the street and struck him.

Construction workers who wouldn’t identify themselves told an Observer reporter that Newton’s truck had barreled down Church Street, just north of the crash site, at a high speed.

future lawsuit impending

Ok because the observer, or one of their editors, did tweet a BS headline like "Cam Newton has 16 driving citations".

But what the headline didn't say is 15 of those citations were from college. Only one since 2011.

That poo pissed me off.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
